rho nastrnotiva Chinoh Rnc.

AS the chinch bug has wrought much
damage to the grain crops in most Of the
western states and in portions of Mary
land and Virginia, attention is called to
some of the more popular remedies or pre-
ventives; also to the natural agencies
which assist in the destruction of this
pest
Numbered with artificial remedies
which have proven most effective are the
following:
The plan of sowing grain so early in
the spring as to get in advance of their
depredations.
The attempt to save a part of the crops
by preventing the migrati IN of the bugs
from one field to another.
The method of destroying the insects by
burning cornstalks and other rubbish in
which the chinch bugB are supposed to
hibernate.
The prevention of tie bugs breeding to
any serious extent by abstaining from the
cultivation of those grains upon which
they chiefly subsist.
While this little pest is not pursued by
such relentless foes as those that wage
war on the army worm and plant lice,
still it has its enemies. Professor Riley
names among the insects that prey upon
chinch bugs, and which, therefore, should
be protected when found, the spotted
lady bird, trim lady bird, lace wing
fly, !nsidious flower bug and many
banded robber. The banded bug is
mentioned by Professor Thomas as
being one of the most efficient aids among
the insect enemies. The insidious flower
bug, which is often found preying on the
leaf inhabiting form of the grape phylloX-
era, is frequently mistaken for the chinch
bug. The flower bug is quite commonly
found in connection with the chinch bug,
and Professor Riley believes that it preys
upon it.
The common quail of the middle and
western states, otherwise known as the
partridge of the northern states, is con-
sidered one of the most efficient natural
destroyers of the chinch bug known.

Attend the Fairs.

Farmers and their families ought to
attend, when possible, both their state
and county fairs. These exhibitions are
many of them excellent educators in all
branches of agriculture. The prime OBJ
ject is to benefit the farming classes by
grouping together once every year the
choicest products of farm, garden, orchard.
dairy and breeding pens, the latest inn
provements in mechanical COntrivances,
ETC., that every man and woman who is
present may know just what progress is
being made by others and the possibilities
that await all who desire to attain to inn
proved methods and their paying results.
To make these fairs generally attractive
there should be from each farm in the
surrounding country an exhibition of the
choice products of the season, whether
from the garden, field, dairy or house
wife's pantry and work room. Even if
no prize is taken the effect will be a good
one on both the farmer and his family. A
spirit of rivalry viii he created that will
stimulate alike young and old to renewed
efforts toward the attainment of better
things during the year to come. To
farmers who anticipate purchasing new
implements, or entering on new branches
Of farming, visit to some of the fairs
will be especially beneficial from an eco
nomical point Of view. There is nothing
like seeing for ones self; it is much safer
than taking things on trust.

WeeVils in Grain,

Numerous remedies have been tested
and recommended for weevils in grain
bins. Once the weevils are in the grain
as certain a remedy as any is probably
bisulphide Of carbon introduced into the
bin, which is then covered to contine the
vapor. An objection urged by some
against the use of bisulphide of carbon is
that the vapor arising from it is very eX-
plosive, and therefore careful handling is
required. Aniseseed is one of the old
remedies. This is placed near an infested
bin and is said to attract the weevils, and
these can then be destroyed. Millers re-
sort sometimes to kiln drying to destroy
the weevils.
In this as in many other cases the best
remedy is a preventive. When possible
avoid storing grain in bins that have been
infested. When it is not practicable to
change the place of storage fumigate the
granary with burning sulphur. Fumiga-
ton should not only be done before the
grain is placed in the bins, but repeated
in the course Of a month or two after it
has been stored An abundance of light
with thorough cleanliness in the mill, will
be found beneficial. Millers advise white
washing the grain bins inside and out, and
washing the floors occasionally with hot
water. Expose the wheat to the light by
frequently stirring it or pouring from one
bin into another; this will also prevent its
becoming heated. The weevil is adverse
to light and air, hence the advice to fire.
quently expose it to the light, with ample
ventilation.

The French government, which some time
ago seemed to sympathize with the efforts Of
the adversaries of Monte Carlo, that academy
of suicide, has evidently changed its opinion
on this subject. 1t has just decorated the
president of the Societe des Jeux. 1t is hard
to explain why the government refuses to au-
thorize the establishment in France of a So
ciety similar to that at Monaco, the president
OF which it decorates. The gamblers of the
whole world might be attracted to Paris,
which for some time has complained of being
less visited than it was, and they would
bring with them the animation and the profits
now taken to Monaco. But instead of that
the government forbids at Nice which is at
the very door of Monaco, even the small
horse game, in which, with run of bad luck,
one can lose twenty-five francs in day,
while at Monaco one can ruin himself and his
whole family in fifty minutes.
Il is to be hoped, then, that the decoration
Of the Legion of Honor, bestowed on the
president of the Society of Suicides at Monte
Carlo, is the prelude to freedom of gambling
in France and to the comforting Of a right on
all Frenchmen to open gambling houses, aud
by this means to win q title to the decoration
OF the Legion of Honor.-St James Gazette

Not long ago great commotion was OBJ
served in the White House grounds, directly
back Of the conservatory All the workmen
in the establishment were dodging about in a
violent manner and the object Of their attell-
tion was presently seen to be a wild rabbi,
which soon disengaged himself from his pul'-
suers and made good his escape into the
White lot and adjacent wilderness. Inquiry
shows that this is not an unusual phenomenon
in Washington. There is considerable game
in the public reservations here at times. Opos-
sums, coons, rabbits, foxes and squirrels are
sometimes seen in them, and it is said that in
the smore secluded portion of the mall, near
the Smithsonian Institution, several wild rab-
bits have established their permanent home.

Prize Article on wheat Growing.

The prize article on wheat growing in o
recent issue of Farm Journal was written
by John NJ. Stahl, of Quincy, Ills. AS it
contains much solid matter in small space,
every line of which is instructive, it is
here reproduced for the benefit Of our
readers.
The best soil for wheat is magnetism
limestone, or limestone clay; but it can
be proftably grown on nearly every fertile,
drained soil. On soils lacking in silica
the straw lodges; lacking in lime, the
berry is not plump. Growing wheat on
undrained land is foolishness. If not
drained naturally, drain the land artifici-
ally. Earth does not expand in freezing;
water does. If the surface soil is filed
with water during the winter and spring
its freezing and thawing will heave out
the young plants; if the soil is drained the
heaving will be much less. Drained soil
retains the most moisture in midsummer
also
Plow early, very early--as soon as you
can get the preceding crop Off the land.
Get to work in July at least. The ground
will be harder in August, and wheat, un-
like corn, does best on seasoned" seed

while they are soft and retain the moisture
I'm the. ground otherwise the clods will
harden and the ground dry out. Wheat
requires a rather shallow, compact seed
bed. A compact seed bed is not hard,
yet solid one. Il Is made by bringing
The particles OF fine ground close together.
Hence after the ground is plowed put on
1t all the work with harrow, roller and
drag that you possibly can. No danger
of too much work being put on
The best manure for wheat is clover

A trellis like the one In the cut, which
Is formed in the resemblance of a gigantic
SPIDERS web, can easily be constructed
with hammer and wire cutter by
the use of few small staples and wire,
such as can be found at any hardware
store. Galvanized wire seems the best.
A little study of any natural web will
give the principles of construction. The
form seems favorable for the growth of
Vines, and it is a relief from the monotony
Of perpendicular wires. OF course, when
covered with clustering vines the shape is
lost but that does not come about in a
day, and rarely in a season, and it gives
an interest to the place when bare. In
the one presented in the sketch a screen
was wanted in an opening between piazza
supports, around which was growing a
luXuriant vine of the Dutchman's pipe
tAristolochia sypha), and the web was
being covered with the feathery foliage of
the cypress vine.
